ABSOLUTELY FUCK THIS AND FUCK EVERYTHING THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN. GODDAMN IT. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

I cannot believe the audacity of C S Pacat to give us that fucking kiss after all of that while James is wearing the goddamn fucking collar. I cannot believe the last line of the book is him calling Will Sarcean. I cannot BELIEVE. She said at the book launch to imagine the best and worst possible things for Will and James and fuck me I was not expecting this. TWO GODDAMN BOOKS JUST TO END UP WITH ALL THE PIECES LAID OUT LIKE THIS?? With all Will's friends allied against him, with James a devoted follower of the man Will is trying desperately not to become?? FUCK. But yes, obviously this is fucking immaculate and I will need to try and repress the fuck out of that ending as we wait for book three. Goddamn it.
